KDE Neon cannot complete backups because it doesn't have permission to back up another user's home folder. How can I fix this?

My backups don't complete because of the following error:

 
    
bup "-d" "/media/backonmybs/BackupSSD/KDENeon Backup" "init"
bup "-d" "/media/backonmybs/BackupSSD/KDENeon Backup" "index" "-u" "/home"
b'/home/': [Errno 13] Permission denied: b'chamaco/'                  
read Linux attr: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/chamaco/'       
WARNING: 2 errors encountered.

Exit code: 1
Kup did not successfully complete the bup backup job: failed to index everything.

  

The main account with admin rights is backonmybs. The other account which has full admin rights is chamaco.

How can I change permissions so that backups complete successfully?
